We had a great time at the perch party today. Fished by Polokid and we nailed the PERCH. Five of us all limited out by noon with several perch going 11". We also picked up about 30 small trout. I don't know where everyone else went today. It was like we had the place to ourselves. I called out on channel 12 several times but got no answer back. Ice was 4" thick over by the ramp. We fished in about 40' of water using anything tipped with perch meat. A great first trip on Rockport for the season. By the time we headed home around 12:30 the ice was getting soft and wet. We used a plank to get on and off of the ice, because the shore was open water for 2' or 3'.
I hope that others will leave the plank alone and not take it, so we can use it again next trip!
I'll bet there will be a lot more folks up there next week!!! Just be extra careful up there!
One more thing. I hope that I never bring home 100 perch to clean ever again! What a back breaking job. Petty I now know what you felt like last year! DKS.
